Is there an ink expert here? In what extent (physical or chemical properties) are ink-jet inks different? I understand there are dye-inks and pigment based inks. But are the inks different beyond that from one model to another printer model, eg. inks for an ET-5777 can be used in an ET-6471 (I intentionally tried not to use existing model numbers) And I am not interested in marketing bs. Exactly what is different? if anything. viscosity? ...I can imagine color fidelity has improved over the years, but anything beyond that that would make the ink unusable in another model or brand of printers?
@@EpsonEurope You seem not getting my question right, Lets say you have 879 different models of inkj-jet printers. According to their manuals, almost all require their own type of ink. There can't be that many kind of ink, I was asking how many really are there if we don't count the physical appearance of the different cartridges, just the liquid itself.
I am afraid we do not have a count for this right now to pass on. On our site you can see the different ink versions and their compatible models. This will help with narrowing down the answer. Kind regards, Epson UK
😲 soo coollll

There are sure there are pigment based ink models dye
Hi,
Epson has different models with dye inks, pigment inks and both of them (BK pigment inks and dye inks for the colours).
Have a good day!
